amount of law. He has the works of

cupying. honored places. The senator is
thoroughly up in English literature, and
is a great reader. Strange to say his re.
creation is III English literature, ana there
is not in Thackeray, Dickens or Scott,
character he is not familiar with. lie
reads the works of these authors over ana

From the window of Mr.. Edmunds's
study the view is superb. Standing at the
window he pointed out some OF its beau

only served by Benton in the first century
of our national existence. He is fully six
feet in height, and, though standing very
straight, carries his head forward from
habit, and not from any physical defor-
nifty or stoop, as might easily be supposed.
He has never enjoyed the most rugged
health, and both in winter and summer
dresses with great care to guard against
the i'll effect of changes of weather. The
soles of his shoes are fully an inch thick,
and he INDUCES carefully in wraps when
coming to and returning from the capitol
in the winter. He wears full beard,
kept cut short, and is almost entirely
bald. He is broad shouldered, but not
fieshy. He is not man of great CONVEX
sational powers, wit he knows nothing
about, and his autograph is, perhaps, the
only joke he has ever perpetrated.
The suggestion that Mr.. Edmunds
knows nothing about wit, will strike his
friends rather strangely. He does not in
deed ever pose as wit but he enjoys a
witty speech or a good joke as well as
anybody and his speeches and converse
ton are often enlivened by bits of quiet
humoI.

WAsHINGTON, May 25-The parade of
the troops to-day for review by the

for seeing at once the entire body of those

qualified success. The head of the column

ed for the president and the invited guests
10 minutes later. The stand had seats for
nearly 300. With the president were Mrs.

RUTLAND TYPOS STRIKE.
The Herald Force Demand More Pay
Publication not Interfered With

RUTLAND, May 25.-The compositors of
the Herald struck to-day. 1t is the result
of conspiracy dating some time back
and is supposed to be backed by the local
Knights OF Labor. 1t is not in accordance
with the regulations of the International
union as the difficulty has not been eX-
amined into by the executive board of that
organization. The cause of the strike was
the refusal of the managers to raise the
pay.
The Herald people have hitherto recog
nized the union and tried To nave a fair
understanding with the men. They will
not yield to the demand under any condi-
ton. They also promise disclosures, if
necessary, tending to show criminal con-
spiracy as an act of revenge for the paper
opposition to the knights of Labor folly
and tyranny. The strike was prepared
for and the work on the paper is not seri-
ouSly interfered with.

1000 soldiers, $1,000 of whom were I'M

MIR. MURRAY AND THE SEA SERPENT


The Springfield Republican Suggests that
He and MIR. Poole Compare Notes.
The Springfield Republican speaks rs
follows of the re cent solution of the sea
serpent mystery by Mr.. w. H. II. Muir
ray of this city, published in our columns
W. H. II. Murray has unraveled the sea
serpent, and the threads from which
that fascinating mystery was woven prove
to be long lines of little te-breasted,
slaty-backed plovers, flying in an undu-
lating course just above the surface of
the water Mr.. Murray only applies this
explanation to the Lake Cbamplan ser
pent, of which we have heard so much in
past seasons from trustworthy witnesses
and which has just begun its summer
| sporting.
This discovery is hardly less interesting
| than Mr. Murray's Adirondack tales. 1t
does away with any necessity for doubt
ing the veracity on this popular point of
men of unquestionable integrity in every
other, and it adds Il new excitement to the
coming summer season at the sea side and
lake resorts. Every tourist should go arm
ed with strong glass, prepared to train it
at an instantS warning on the winged ser
penis" If Mr.. Murray s explanation is good
! Tor Lake Champlain, it ought to be for
the Hudson river serpent and for many
of those seen on the sea-shore. But it
does not explain the Gloucester serpent
of 1885. That apparition was seen by
Calvin w. Poole of Rockport with a
g.ass, while the college professors were
looking with their naked eyes, and Mr..
! Poole has described the head in detail.
! He and Mr.. Murray should compare notes
right away Perhaps they can send the
sea serpents to join the sun myth.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE POPE.
The Religious Peace Which has Been OBJ
tanned with Germany.


ROME, May 24-The pope in an allocu-
ton yesterday referred to the religious
peace with Prussia which the pope said he
had made every effort to attain. Con
tinuing the pope said We felt more con
cerned at the evils of this religious strug-
gle with Prussia and as we were unable
to remedy them by striving alone, owing
to the ostacles which impeded our power.
we invoked the cooperation of the Ger
man bishops and Catholic deputies in the
PruSslan diet, from whose cOustancy
and concord the church derived great
fruits and expects stlll greater. Thanks
to the equitable pacific sentiments of EN-
peror " lillian and his councillors, the
Prussian government removed the more
serious inconvenience, then.accepted var
lous practical conditions of peace
by which some of the former laws
against the church have been repeal
ed, and Others mittigated. Something
remains, but we must rejoice at what we
have obtained and above ali in regard to
the free action of the pope in the govern
ment of the church in Prussia. We do
not despair of yet obtaining the best re-
suits III other parts of Germany, notably
in Hesse- Darmstadt God grant Italy,
who is particularly dear to us may share
the spirit of peace with which we are an
MATED toward all nations
